WASHINGTON—A bipartisan group of 11 U.S. House lawmakers on Thursday asked the Biden administration to investigate and potentially sanction Chinese drone maker Autel Robotics, citing national security concerns.
The letter, signed by House China select committee chair Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), a Republican, and the panel’s top Democrat, Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), asked the Commerce, Defense, and Treasury departments to investigate Autel Robotics, whose parent company is Autel Intelligent Technology.
